John Mayer has a song for every situation life could throw at you. His music has been with me through my countless trials and tribulations. I can't even fathom how many times I've listened to all his albums on repeat. His poetic lyrics and beautiful melodies make me feel otherworldly. So, I decided to take on the challenging task of listing the 18 Best John Mayer songs. They are in no particular order because all his songs are masterpieces, duh.

18. Stop This Train

This song is the definition of an existential crisis.

17. Love Song For No One

This tune is off of John's debut album, "Room for Squares," and is the perfect bubbly love song to listen to while walking to class or sitting in a coffee shop people-watching.

16. Helpless

This is off of John's newest album, "The Search for Everything." It has the perfect mix of a retro style sound with a groovy guitar riff paired with infectious lyrics.

15. Assassin

At 5 minutes and 14 seconds, this is one of John's longer songs, but it's angelic in the way it tells the story of a man that sleeps around and isn't into commitment (an assassin), who then falls for a girl who's "an assassin too". Karma at its finest.

14. Rosie

The way he says "Perdon and lo siento" gives me goosebumps.

13. 3x5

John may have figured out the meaning of life with this song. Live in the moment, spend time with the people you love, and don't take pictures of everything you do!

12. Heartbreak Warfare

The striking guitar and smooth vocals make this a classic.

11. Daughters

How can you not like this song? I cry every time I hear it.

10. No Such Thing

The hard-hitting lyrics and attention grabbing guitar playing makes this one of John's most memorable songs.

9. Vultures

The first song I learned to play on the drum set so it holds a special place in my heart.

8. Gravity

This will be played at my wedding. One of the best love songs ever written.

7. Split Screen Sadness

Have you ever been in a long distance relationship? This song describes the feeling perfectly.

6. Bigger Than My Body

The ideal song to scream out of a car sunroof or dance around with your friends to.

5. Waiting on the World to Change

One of John's most commercially successful songs, and rightfully so. It has some of the most quotable lyrics such as, "It's hard to beat the system / when you're standing at a distance."

4. XO

This song is a cover of the Beyonce song of the same name, but it's so well done that it makes the list.

3. 83 Medley (Live in Birmingham)

One of the best mash ups ever. You can hear the audience freak out when he effortlessly transitions into "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun."

2. Clarity

The jazzy undertone and soulful falsetto give me life.

1. Why Georgia

A motivational song about chasing your dreams instead of being clouded by fear.

John once said in an interview, "Hopefully people can see my music is tethered to my brain." We can John, and we love you for it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
